The number below the plastic bottle is to inform you how "microwavable" the plastic container is. It can be found on all plastic containers, such as your tupperware and even the hawker centre types. The higher the number, the "safer" it is to use in the microwave, though I wouldn't advise using plastic in the microwave in the first place.
For your info. - advice from an engineering friend. A dentist's wife has a tumor in her uterus and need to remove it. Her doctor told them the possible cause of his wife's tumor is by some chemical which only affecting women. The chemical mainly find in plastic water bottle. It is not the water that affecting you but the chemical releasing from the bottle.
You must check on the bottom of the bottle there is a triangle sign and there will be a number on it. Make sure the number is higher than or equal to 5. Then this bottle is safe to use. Whatever number under 5 will release the chemical. For most bottled water container, the number is 1. Remember to check and stop reusing those bottles.
